Interesting set of reflections from Chris Lott, presented oddly (and a bit disturbingly) as though it were some sort of Athanasian Creed, on the relation between open content and community. "Community becomes increasingly important as one realizes that open education (if not most education) uses content but involves community." That said, there is not a one-to-one relation between courses and community. So what is the relationship? And can it be expressed as a set of observations rather than as a statement of faith?
